Yep, can't forget that! For grins, I made up a little csh script
that invokes init.d/http to restart the apache server. It runs the
same startup procedure as during the system boot, and seems to do the
job cleanly.
#!/bin/csh
echo "Restarting apache server"
/etc/rc.d/init.d/httpd restart
I'm at a loss, otherwise, as to why you're getting downloads instead
of PHP processing. There are a couple of other lines in httpd.conf
that have to do with loading the PHP module (i.e., LoadModule and
AddModule), but those should have been inserted sometime during the
build process.
Ideas, anyone?
